Aftermarket T-Top Hooks?

Does anyone know if there exists such a thing ad chrome/billet/aluminum hooks for the t-top bag that go above the gas tank and in the rear cargo area?

I can't paint them because the metal to metal contact will scrape the paint off and the rusted hooks are just a huge eyesore.

never seen a aftermarket piece specifially for this purpose.

you could have yours chromed. Or have a set machined, but that will be costly.

I was thinking that same idea. But it can't be all that much to have tiny hooks chromed.

If you want an alternative you could buy one of these kits and have your own zinc plating facility for 150$ then while working on your car you can have a chrome like finish on any part you want.

you can choose from blue black or yellow chromate and this is what they look like
